Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum is included in Greater Toronto Art 2021 (GTA21), a new triennial that brings together twenty-one of the most energising artists and art collectives working in Toronto or intensely connected to the city. The title is a nod to the name of the city’s broad metropolitan area and addresses the ever-expanding notion of what Toronto might be, where it extends, and what practices and attitudes it holds.
This large-scale exhibition is defined by its pledge to Toronto artists and the commissioning of new projects that add to a local and global discourse. For the inaugural iteration, each contributor was asked to consider: 'What feels most urgent to you today?' Taken together, their responses offer different imaginations of the city, society and the world. Uniting the artists is a profound belief in remembering, storytelling, questioning, resisting, celebrating, making and speculating.
